Library Facilities & Services

MSTC libraries offer many services for the students, faculty, staff, and adult residents in the Mid-State District. The library system consists of three campus libraries in Marshfield, Stevens Point, and Wisconsin Rapids, and one county center library in Adams. Each library provides an array of print, non-print, and electronic resources and services to support its campus/center programming and the district’s learning, discovery, and engagement mission. Each MSTC library is an open learning center. Campus libraries may also offer the following services (see below for services that may be limited to certain locations):
